We’ve been reporting for quite some time now that evangelicals, especially Southern Baptists, have been fawning over staunch Roman Catholic (the one who knows and fully agrees with Roman Catholic doctrine), Marco Rubio. Many Southern Baptists have gone as far as to say they believe he is saved (See here, and here). The SBC’s lead … Read more
***Note – I originally wrote this over at the Pulpit and Pen blog. Please be sure to check that site out too, if you haven’t already.

At the Hillsong 2015 Conference in Sydney, Australia, where Rick Warren shared a stage with other heretics such as Joseph Prince, Warren teaches that he receives extra-biblical revelations through subconscious dreams. The theme of the Word of Faith conference that Rick is speaking at is “Speak Lord, I’m listening.” This is fitting since all of the speakers … Read more
Wherever there is compromise, you’ll find Rick Warren. If you can’t wait until September to see Rick Warren compromise the Gospel by co-preaching a “word from God” with a Roman Catholic priest at the World Meeting of Families, his current compromise should hold you over until then. In fact, he couldn’t find anyone to compromise … Read more
The man who claims to be the representative of Jesus Christ on earth, the man who holds a golden cup in his hand filled with abominable things, Pope Francis, will be visiting Philadelphia in September for the World Meeting of Families. The World Meeting of Families is a Vatican-sponsored event held every three years to … Read more
The ugliest woman you’ll ever meet, but she’s mine and she’s ugly.- Elton John, Ugly This past Wednesday, Saddleback Church’s pastor Rick Warren, along with gay pop star, Elton John, attended a Senate hearing in which they jointly addressed the issue of funding global health initiatives. And when I say “jointly,” I mean, literally, jointly. … Read more
“We rejoice that the Holy Father has captured the world’s attention and so much good will for the Christian faith!…You have written so powerfully, Holy Father, of the importance of a new evangelization within the Church: “An evangelizing community gets involved by word and deed in people’s daily lives; it bridges distances, it is willing … Read more
A seminary education is both theological and professional. Not only are seminary students taught biblical languages, church history, systematic theology, hermeneutics, and apologetics, they are taught how to run an organization, specifically a local church. That’s why it’s so disturbing to see that Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary has partnered with Rick Warren’s megachurch to form … Read more
The weekend edition of Polemics Report, as heard on AM and FM radio. This week’s topic is Rick Warren, who encourages Christians to think like lost people. JD explains from the Bible that that’s actually pretty bad (and wicked) advice. As always, you can listen on SermonAudio or iTunes, or click to listen below.
After thinking long and hard about our actions over the past few years, we here at the Pulpit & Pen would like to apologize to our readership and the subjects of our many articles and podcasts. In reflecting on all the digital ink we’ve spilled in our zeal to expose unfruitful deeds of darkness and … Read more
Recently, I wrote an article addressing serious theological issues that the CEO of Saddleback Church, Rick Warren, preached at the Hillsong 2015 Conference. Apparently this article ruffled quite a few feathers, since it has almost five-thousand Facebook shares, and Hillsong even contacted me requesting that I remove the video of Rick Warren’s sermon from Youtube … Read more

On May 17, 2015, Pastor of Saddleback Church took the opportunity during Sunday Morning worship service to make a plea for more money. He twists several Scriptures in order to guilt members of his church into believing that if they aren’t giving 10 percent of their income on a weekly basis, they will not receive the blessings of God. He then ends his message with having his members sign an oath, “pledging” to give 10 percent of their income from this point forward, and that it “saddens him” to “know that some members would be missing out on God’s blessings,” and that “people might not go to heaven” because they didn’t give their money to his church.
The Baptist Press revealed yesterday that Pastor J.D. Greear of Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham, NC, has nominated current pope president of the Southern Baptist Convention, Ronnie Floyd, to a second term. This comes as no surprise, as Floyd is adored by the neo-evangelical leadership who have now mainstreamed the denomination. One of the problems with this neo-evangelicalism is that many of them are solid bible teachers, and are solid in their doctrinal beliefs, but outside of the pulpit is where they break down. They see no problem associating with, and promoting emergent leaders such as Rick Warren, and they tend to blindly support each other, as I reported before, without any accountability, in order to re-elect and maintain leadership positions within the SBC. This appears to be the same thing here.
By now, it’s no doubt that Rick Warren has not let the criticism from fellow believers, advice from his colleagues, or even the Word of God stand in his way of promoting questionable practices, ideas and beliefs in his ministry at Saddleback Church. In the past, he has promoted (and currently still does promote) unbelievers … Read more
